[ARG] Shroud: Redemption or Shroud 3
- was "possible game going on here?"

I think I may have stumbled on something.

I was checking my Gmail account today, when I got a chat window:

... ///: hello?
me: who is this
... ///: i will reveal soon.
me: ??
... ///: 612072657475726E2E2062757A7A696E67206173
2069662069207765726520612062656520696E20612068
6976652E2E2E00
http://shrd.uni.cc
me: um, okay??

I then signed out, because naturally that's pretty weird.

Can anyone investigate?

[edit - updated the name - kona]

The email turns up as being part of an older game, Shroud.

PM came out and claimed that game was over, so I'm not sure if this is a restart or what.

I was looking at the dotshroudSPLATgmail.com address, but yeah -- it seems to be the same website trailhead as the previous incarnation.

YES!

Shroud lives!!

3rd revival it seems. The game took place mostly on IRC or through emails so I hope the PM emails me about this.

If this starts up again, I'll be there.

Well I've shot off emails and got responses. Anyone who wants to play can ask me and I'll type up a summary of the story so far.

Wasn't around for Shroud so trout and giggle but I was curious and mailed

Hi Scott,
Do you live in that town where you can't smell a thing? Doesn't sound very natural. How did that come about--care to share?

And Scott replied:
